1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Place the squash cubes on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly.

3. Roast for 30–35 minutes, or until the squash is tender and golden brown around the edges.

4. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.

For extra flavor, toss the squash with spices such as smoked paprika, cumin, or cinnamon before roasting.

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven or added to soups, salads, and grain bowls.
